Making Wine in the White House

Matt brought in several cases of different types of grapes to make some wine, from scratch, this year. However, all of those grapes needed to be somehow crushed. Enter Lucy.....for inspiration!

We had Miss Avelyn!
We did shower her well before putting those adorable tootsies into the clusters of grapes.


Taste testing the grapes prior to the stomping

It was a toe curling good time

Then it started to get a bit cold....the grapes had been on the refrigerated truck all day

Avelyn had fun before her feet got cold, she wasn't quite sure what it was she was supposed to be doing, but with a little help and guidance from Daddy she soon figured it out. Matt commented on how I chose a white diaper for her to stomp grapes in....not my finest selection, but she never sat down in the grapes.

After the novelty of stomping wore off, Matt was reduced to having to hand squeeze 40lbs of grapes, but he did it! Everything is now percolating away in our basement awaiting the day for it to be "drunked".

Well at least we don't have to work for our grape juice. We buy the concentrate from the wineries (through a retail outlet).

We have done a grape stomp before and it is super fun! I imagine hand squeezing is NOT so much fun.
